Payday Loans

Hello, had some financial issues in early 2016 resulting in me taking out 3 payday loans. They were all paid off fully within 3 months. All 3 show on my credit report as you would expect. My question is how long they stay showing on my file as we intend to move house next summer and I’m concerned they may impact a mortgage application. I have been told that bad loans fall off a credit file after 6 years but well paid loans can remain showing for 7-10 years. How long would well paid payday loans stay on file please?
